Wilma Rudolph did not participate in the mile run. She was a sprinter who specialized in the 100 meter dash and the 200 meter dash.
Wilma Rudolph was the first American woman to win three gold medals in track and field events at the Olympics. She tied the world record in the 100-meter and set a new Olympic record in the 200. This was at the 1960 Olympic games in Rome, Italy.
Wilma Rudolph's best time in the 100 was an 11.0 timed in the 100 meter finals at the 1960 Rome Olympics. However, since there was a tail wind of 2.75 meters per second, higher than the limit of 2.0 meters per second, the time was not recognized as a new world record. Her best 'official' 100 meter dash time was a hand timed 11.2 set at a meet in Stuttgart in 1961.
Wilma Rudolph's automatic timed world record in the 100 meter dash, 11.41 seconds set at the 1960 Olympics in Rome, was bettered by Wyomia Tyus at 11.23 seconds at the 1964 Olympics in Tokyo. She had run faster times but those races were not automatically timed. Her best 100 meter dash time was a hand timed 11.2 set at a meet in Stuttgart in 1961. Wilma's automatic timed world record in the 200 meter dash, 22.30 seconds set at the 1960 Olympics, was bettered by Edith McGuire at 22.05 seconds set at the 1964 Olympics.
